Jose Mourinho is still getting used to the surrounding at Manchester United but that hasn’t stopped him from bold moves in the transfer window. He has already signed as the likes of Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, three excellent signings to rejuvenate the United squad. However the work is still unfinished, he will be looking for more players that can add quality to his team and take them forward towards success. With still over a month to go until the Premier League restarts, there is still more than enough time for Manchester United to capture a few more players to add to their growing list if incomings.
There are still some wide gaps in the team that need to be plugged, if United are going to have any ambition of mounting a title challenge next season. With no European commitments next season, it might be a difficult task to persuade players but with Mourinho in charge, the Red Devils have an appeal that few others can match. Here we look at 3 players who could complete a highly successful united transfer window.
John Stones
John Stones is being courted by most of the top flight clubs. Although he struggled last season with form, there is no doubting his abilities. Last year Jose Mourinho were desperately trying to sign him at Chelsea, however Everton stood firm. Doing the same again this year might prove difficult if the right offer comes. The youngster come with an advantage of being a home grown player, therefore he won’t come cheap given the current Premier League homegrown laws. However he is a truly gifted player, one who can solidify any defense that he is part of.
Paul Pogba
There are growing reports linking Pogba with a move to Old Trafford, however these reports also mention that it will take a record bid from Jose Mourinho to pursue Juventus to sell their star asset. Letting Pogba leave United, might be the biggest Sir Alex Ferguson has from his time as the Red Devil manager. The Frenchman has become one of the best players in the world. The star midfielder has everything; power, technical ability, a tireless engine and an unstoppable shot from distance. He will definitely take United up a notch if does decide to return to his former club.
James Rodriguez
Rodriguez had a brilliant 2014 world cup, which led Real Madrid invest heavily in securing his services. However after a good first season, Rodriguez is currently finding it difficult to cement his place in the starting XI. There are doubts regarding his future, which has put many top clubs across Europe on alert. There are reports in the media that Madrid will be willing to sell the midfielder this summer, however much like Stones, this one will likely cost a huge sum. However the Columbian has tremendous quality which will make the money worth it.
